The MDS Element Manager is designed to be a standalone tool compatible with Microsoft Windows OS and supports individual GE MDS radios connected through a choice of interfaces - serial, DLINK, SSH, HTTP(S), etc., dependent on the capabilities of the attached device. This is a replacement for a collection of unsupported engineering tools that have become obsolete over time.

The MDS Element Manager is a purpose-built tool designed as a single application to support legacy MDS radios with a modern user interface. Built on a modern platform, this is a rich internet application with the GE MDS user interface look-and-feel that is built on a common framework for long term supportability.
